Bonding is not insurance and insurance brokers generally do not possess the expertise and market relationships to deliver competitive bonding solutions and added value. We are bond brokers. Our firm was founded on the principle of providing contractors with the highest level of specialized bonding service and expertise that is not available in the general insurance brokerage community. And today, over 40 years later, this remains the cornerstone of our identity and value offering.

We deliver proven results in 3 critical areas:

     1.  Preferred bonding terms (including limits, rates and security).

     2.  Flawless bond document service.

     3.  Proactive bond program management.

To achieve this, we’ve developed an industry leading team of experienced and respected surety professionals who have dedicated their entire careers to construction bonding. Our bond team, many of whom are former senior level bond underwriters, ‘speak the language’ of the bonding companies and possess an expert understanding of the bond underwriting process. This, combined with our insider understanding of the construction business, allows us to deliver market leading results to any construction business in need of bonds.

Petrela Winter and the Navacord Group are a ‘top 3’ bond broker in Canada. We possess a large, quality book of construction bonding business distributed amongst all of the major bonding companies, allowing for strong, influential relationships with the underwriting decision makers, and providing good options for contractors to choose from.

We welcome conventional bonding cases looking for improved terms and/or upgraded broker service, or complex and difficult to place cases requiring advanced expertise and a problem solving approach.
